Test Taking Tuesday

Howdy 201 Families,

Today we....
  • participated in a school-wide ISAT simulation. Today we took the reading portion.
  • went to digital music and learned how to save and submit files on Edmodo.
  • spent some time studying circles, triangles, and polygons.  We will continue our pre-ISAT geometry unit through mid-next week.  Then, we will move on to fractions.
  • went to the computer lab to complete Science Fusion digital lessons about the relationship between the sun, moon, and earth. 
Tonight at home.....
  • read the Mini Page news entitled The Stupendous Sun.  Create a fact finder that shows what you learned on the back page: The Mighty Sun.  Include 10 or more facts, and include diagrams, captions, headings, or other text features to show what you know
  • finish the Classifying Shapes math packet.  We will correct it tomorrow in class.
Reminders/News.....
  • Do you have a copy of Holes by Louis Sacher?  We need four more!
  • Tomorrow, we will take the math portion of the ISAT simulation and on Thursday, we will take the science section.  We will go over these tests in class next week.
  • Thank you, Sean, for bringing in the Post-its and the tape!
  • The i pads are here!  I hope to get them in the students' hands by the end of this week. 
  • Please note that I have been "front-loading" lots of material on Edmodo.  Previewing the content at home helps us move through lessons faster.  When we go over the material in class, the students who have previewed the content are better prepared for the lesson.
